Hi, I am using a older filter i found online years ago where you enter data on a main sheet, and then run the macro and then the macro will filter and create new sheets based on a criteria.
Then the next time you run it again, it replaces data on those sheets and reads all data. My issue is that i will be using the new sheets it creates to add notes and for tracking purposes.
Is there anyway to keep the macro from overwriting existing data and only add in new data?
Thanks,
